Cutting across diverse disciplines, such as economics, sociology,
public administration, public policy, urban design and planning,
urban engineering, civil and environmental engineering, and tourism
research, The Making of a Smart City in Korea: The Quest for
E-Seoul provides empirical evidence on how the notion of the smart
city has been interpreted and applied in Seoul—the capital and
largest metropolis of South Korea. The contributors show how
shifting a traditional city into a digital one has brought about
noticeable changes in the governance, economics, arts, and cultures
of Seoul. This edited volume on the Seoul Metropolitan
Government’s quest for e-Seoul provides great resources for many
cities worldwide to seek to benchmark this particular type of smart
city, as well as for all those academics in the related fields to
learn it theoretically and empirically, given that Seoul has
systematically pushed different stages and strategies of the smart
urbanization.

Through a critical examination of the Korean diaspora in
transnational contexts as a case study, Korean Digital Diaspora:
Transnational Social Movements and Diaspora Identity unmasks the
process of how people of the diaspora have built social
interactions and communication with others online, how they have
orchestrated social movements, and finally, how they have narrated
and reshaped their diaspora identities in their everyday lives.
Utilizing an ethnographical approach, including in-depth
interviews, participant observation, and a field study in New York
City and Philadelphia, Hojeong Lee delineates how digital media
technology has expanded into a new form of diaspora, digital
diaspora, within the Korean diaspora community, and how it has
mobilized the social movements of Korean diaspora members.
Accordingly, Korean diaspora members have begun to imagine their
community as a transnational global diaspora. Korean Digital
Diaspora concludes with an analysis of how the changed attitudes of
diaspora members have also influenced how they define themselves
and how they are reshaping their diaspora identities. This
multi-site, three-year study reveals the nexus of media,
individuals, and society, highlighting the transnational social
movements of diaspora members.
